Origin and Cause Forensic Investigator

Having an origin and cause forensic investigator investigate your fire can be the first step in determining your liability. The investigation is conducted by a professional who is independent of your insurance company. The investigator will visit the scene and take samples that are of interest to them. These samples are then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the origin of the fire. They may then file a report with your insurance company. In some cases, the insurance company will send an adjuster to your home to examine the damage and decide if it is covered under your policy.

• An origin and cause forensic investigator may or may not interview witnesses. The investigator's goal is to determine the origin of the fire, as well as who caused the damage. A cause and origin investigation may not be conclusive, but if the investigation proves to be inconclusive, the insurance company may send a second investigator to further investigate the case. It is important to remember that a cause and origin investigation are not an attempt to influence the investigation. If you try to influence the investigator, you may make the investigator suspicious of the case.

• A cause and origin investigation can be very complex, and the expert may not know who caused the fire. The expert may visit the scene, take pictures, and take samples of interest. They may even arrive while the fire is still burning. The expert may also want to interview witnesses or tenants.

• A cause and origin forensic investigator may be from a private firm. The insurance company may contact a private company to perform the investigation, but the insurance company does not have any direct relationship with the private firm. It is important to remember that the investigators may not be able to answer all of your questions about the insurance policy. If the investigator is from a private firm, they may have access to your home or office, and you should not attempt to interfere with the investigation. If the private firm has access to your home or office, it can be a good idea to contact the company before the investigation begins.

• Forensic Litigation Services by Origin & Cause will take samples of smoke, heat, fluids, and other evidence. They may also take photographs to document the investigation. The investigator will also interview the witnesses and may decide to walk the premises to search for causes. The investigator may also use cadaver dogs to search for evidence of victims.

The Bottom Line :

The origin and cause investigator will then file a report with the insurance company. In some cases, the investigator may be contacted by the insurance company or the fire department to conduct the investigation. This may occur if the investigation is deemed suspicious or if the insurance company does not want to pursue a claim. If the insurance company does not contact the cause and origin forensic investigator, the investigation may become a law enforcement investigation.
